On the topic of bread, many decades ago I baked a lot of bread, using flour we ground ourselves from organic hard red Peace River wheat.  My bible then was the Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book.  I see the original version of that book is mow $851 USD on Amazon.  Luckily, the updated version is a lot less.  Highly recommended for beginners and pro's alike

You guys are far to talented In the culinary arts! Couple of hundred years ago maybe I could have been a chuck wagon cook.  Here it goes “Wayne’s throw anything you have bean and drumstick soup”. 
 

  1/4 cup of five different dried beans soaked overnight  

  1/2 cup chopped carrots   

  1/2 cup chopped yellow onion

  1/2 cup chopped celery   

  1-14.5 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes   

  6- chicken bullion cubes (stock would be better refer to the recipe title)

  Garlic granules (your discretion)

  8-10 cups of water enough to cover the beans by 2-3”

  

  Start by boiling the beans only and reduce to a simmer for 60 minutes uncovered. Add all other ingredients (chuck wagon). Simmer for another hour uncovered. 30 minutes before serving start the chicken legs. 
 
  Chicken legs

  Olive oil 

  Goya Adobo all purpose seasoning 

  

  Medium heat with a lid cracked brown and cook through turning several times to obtain a nice golden color. Serve legs on the side or in the bowl with soup! Easy meal with easy re-heating leftovers. I like a little Louisiana hot sauce in my bowl to give it a little kick.
